Daifuku Maru (6 August 1937)

Daifuku Maru was an Imperial Japanese Navy transport ship that was launched on 6 August 1937. The ship was sent to carry troops and supplies to the Solomon Islands during the Battle of Guadalcanal, but the ship was assaulted by US Navy warplanes on 25 August 1942 during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons. The US Navy aircraft sunk it with torpedoes and bullets, blowing up its magazine and sinking the vessel.
